Hey,

well first i will tell you that im running xp with sp2. anyway so my current anti virus had just been unistalled(as i was going to reinstall avast - but the point being, i had(and still dont have) no anti virus. when i got a virus called (i should of bloody wrote this down but i didnt) mciexe-something-rather.exe bascially i new i had a virus b/c i couldnt open any programs and it installed a "elite tool bar" into my internet explorer. so i used one of those online virus scans and found the path and deleted it manualy. anyway. so thats gone. and now im left with a half functioing pc. i can reboot/login jsut fine and run IE (liek i am now) just fine, but i cant open any programs, for instance if i try to open say AIM.exe(aol instant messanger) the "open with" with list thingo comes up and asks me wat i want to open it with. ALso when i try to access the controll panel(i can open the "folder" but not like "add/romove hardwar" or any of those) it wont open(yea as i said jsut there) and it gives me the message
"c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe
application not found "

so i thought , fair enough it deleted it. so i jsut downloaded antoher copy from the first thing googled after "rundll32.exe download" and sent it to the system32 folder. reboot. same problem.

i have no idea's as of wat to do next. i was thinking mayeb its another virus but i cant install anything either(thus i still dont have a new anti virus)

could anyone help? that would be great if you can.

thank you,
